Be a little landlord

Chapter 76

   The tentative name of the magazine is "Quan Shui Qi Tan", and its contents include a variety of stories and gossip, unorthodox literature, Lin Lixuan does not intend to mix those things of orthodox literature, and only intends to make an interesting booklet.

It is used by idlers to pass the time.

Whether it is placed in the store for people to watch, or sold to businessmen from the north and the south to relieve boredom during the journey, there must be something to do and leave some souvenirs. Lin Lixuan himself likes to read some weird essays, and there are few things here that satisfy him. For the book, he made it himself, and found someone to compile the story by himself.

During this period of time, he has been planning how to manage this matter, but this woman Shen Youyun has been pestering him endlessly, the plan has been shelved for a while and is still in the planning stage, but now he has to find an author for his pamphlet .

He now has a printing workshop, and Mr. Shen is behind him as his background. There is basically no difficulty in creating an ancient monthly magazine. The only difficulty is... Where can he find so many creators? He likes it. He couldn't find it before the monthly magazine came out, so he had to do the digging himself.

With a shameless face, he asked Chu Zihang to write two articles for him, and asked Huang Yuan to draw serial comics for him. Lin Lixuan also found a few jokes from the brother who was in deep water, and he wrote a serial martial arts novel by himself. , and several crossword puzzles were attached, and with just a few adjustments, the first volume of Quanshui Qitan was produced and printed.

The first issue of the periodical was released. Lin Lixuan didn't go to other places to promote the magazine. He first promoted it in his own store. This store was not Songyun Bookstore, but his original store that sold food - Lin Kee Restaurant. How to promote books in the food shop? This is also tricky.

Aren't there several crossword puzzles attached to the back of the book? Lin Lixuan first announced in the store that if he could solve the anagram, he could write the answer on a note and put it in the red box at the door of the store. Ten lucky readers would be drawn on the middle of the month, and each lucky reader would get a prize from the food shop. Use coupons for free.

Each coupon is worth 100 Wen, and everyone who owns the coupon can buy food worth 100 Wen at Lin Kee Restaurant for free.

Although it is just a small gimmick, it is still very attractive to some otaku who often come and go in their shop and stay at home to study. Free lunch is naturally important, and it is equally important to show off your ability to guess the crossword puzzle!

Now that you have read the crossword puzzle, you will inevitably want to Flipping through the content of the book, the serialized content immersed in the book naturally developed naturally.

Only 800 copies of the first volume of Quanshui Qitan were printed, and he put 10 copies in his store for free viewing. Those who come to the store for lunch or tea break can browse at will.

He welcomes those who are willing to buy, and he doesn't chase away those who come to see it for nothing. If he wants to see it for nothing, he has to order food first. After using this trick, the number of people who come to his shop to kill time on weekdays has increased by 30%. Not only is it overcrowded during meal times, but also people come to drink tea, snacks and browse magazines at other times from time to time... In

the afternoon, Huang Daniu sat lazily Flipping through the books at the door of the store, there are not many customers in the store at this time, he is relatively leisurely, he can calm down and read a book for a while, he was illiterate at first, but there are so many books in the store, he doesn't read for nothing, The boss is kind, and he taught him to read and write in his spare time, so Huang Daniu managed the store while reading books when he had time.

There was a customer who ordered a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds, and came to their store to read books for several days.

He was wearing a gray blouse. He was of medium build, with a slightly dark complexion. He spread the books on the table and looked at them very seriously.

It is inevitable that there will be oil stains on the dining table, so Lin Lixuan wrapped these books with a thick oil paper case to reduce the degree of wear and tear. There are only seven characters on the brown case, that is, four big characters : Quanshui Qitan, and three small characters standing upright in a row: the first issue.

When people who knew him saw him, they couldn't help asking curiously: "Old Liu, I have known you for twenty years... Aren't you illiterate? Why are you pretending to read here..."

"Although I am illiterate, I I know my son, he has been in school for several years, and he taught me a lot of characters..."

"Hmph, your level of literacy is about the same as mine... Can you understand?"

"Of course I can, It's not difficult at first... Do you want me to tell you the story?"

"Tell me..."

"This is about a knight-errant... Do you understand the word?" Old Liu crackled Talked a lot in front of people I knew.

"I didn't expect you could really understand..."

"That's natural, and it's not difficult." Lao Liu himself felt strange, like those textbooks used in schools, he couldn't understand the meaning in them, but Although he only knew a few words in these books, when he opened the pages, he even understood the stories of guessing and guessing. Moreover, according to the connection between the contexts, he could understand the meaning of some unfamiliar words. , came here to read books for a few days, and he actually knew a lot more words!

The serialized painting stories in it are also very interesting. An author named Xiao Yuanzi painted them vividly. Lao Liu has read his paintings many times, which are very interesting and funny.

"Show me the book in your hand..."

"Go, find another one yourself." "Where is

the book?"

"There, it's on the platform at the stairway."

"Everything It was taken away..."

"Then you come early tomorrow, this is what I want to see."

"..."

One month later, the number of sales of the first issue was less than 30% of the number of prints. Among them, Huang Yuan bought the most. He bought a total of five copies. This was the first time I saw his works. All the people in the world, he can't wait to buy all the books back and keep them for himself.

"Do you want to sell all the remaining five hundred copies?"

"I think so, but I have more energy than I want, so I can't afford it!

" Don't think about it, go back and work on the next month's draft!"

After the first volume was released, Lin Lixuan could barely earn back his original capital, and this had to be added to the extra business that his shop had increased, and he ran it for a month. In terms of cost, it can only be regarded as no loss or compensation, and the loss of energy is a big loss, but Lin Lixuan doesn't care, he can still maintain these losses.

It's just the first book.

Lin Lixuan asked the workshop to work overtime to print books, and at the same time spread the news everywhere that he wanted to receive manuscripts.

On the last page of the first issue of Quanshui Strange Talk, there is an advertisement for soliciting contributions: After reading this book, those who are willing to contribute to Songyun Bookstore can send their manuscripts to Songyun Bookstore on Seventh Street, Quanshui County.

After all, this was the first month, and Lin Lixuan's call for papers had been sent out, but he hadn't received a single manuscript.

Quanshui Qitan is a monthly magazine, one a month, with the foreshadowing of the first volume, the second and third volumes are released one after another, and Lin Kee Restaurant also has new issues of the month one after another, which can be viewed at will.

"Hey buddy, what about last month? I haven't finished reading yesterday." Someone stopped Huang Daniu and asked him why there were no books and periodicals last month.

"Only the current month's books can be read casually in the store." Huang Daniu said frankly, the old books in the store have been eliminated.

"I should have known that I should have finished reading yesterday before leaving. I have lost too much. By the way, big cow, where can I read the last one?" The man was disappointed and annoyed. After he finished speaking, Someone next to him pushed him: "I saw that the person next door to you bought a copy. You can ask him to borrow it.

" I just left, it's really a big loss, I really want to read that martial arts serial." After reading it yesterday, this person still remembered it all the time, so he wanted to come over and continue reading today.

"Didn't you already hear what happened?" 

"But I want to see for myself. " 

Therei s a big difference between what others say and what I see! It is distributed in Quanshui County, and some travelers will buy a copy and take it to other places. 

The first issue has little influence, the second issue, and the third issue... come out one after another, until one day, a businessman from other places specially I went to Songyun Bookstore and bought several copies. 

"My old buddy originally wanted to buy it by himself, but he couldn't spare time. When he heard that I was going to berth a boat here, he told me ten times in my ear before leaving that he wanted me to buy a book called "The Complete Book". What kind of books are you talking about about Shui Qi Tan? We who are in business, what kind of books do you read?" 

"It's fine to buy one, but he asked me to buy ten. By the way, did he have the last month's book? Is it sold out? No more? No more takeaways, only the current month? It means that if you miss it, you can't buy it, right?" 

This kind of monthly serialization really requires hard work. It is a cycle of stories, there is a cause and an effect, it not only needs to take over the previous issue and continue to tell the story with the content, but at the same time, it must be able to understand and be attracted to those who have not read the previous issue, so, Lin Lixuan has to think carefully about the content ranking of each issue of Quanshui Qitan. 

Lin Lixuan racked his brains to sort out the content that should be published that month, scratching his head and thinking about how to break chapters, which caused him more headaches than letting him figure out a story by himself.

He has worked hard on content layout, and the results are obvious. After the fourth issue and the fifth issue were released, people came to ask from time to time: What should I do if I want to read the previous content? Can the publications of previous months be printed again?

Of course not!

However, more and more people were attracted, and the number of free books displayed in Lin Kee restaurant has changed from ten to twenty.
